We thank you for your consideration and understanding as we continue our World population balancing incentives.

The status of the following Worlds has been changed today.
In order to accommodate the expansion of the North American data center and to assist with any World transfer issues that may occur from the redistribution of Worlds, we will be temporarily changing Preferred Worlds under the North American data center to Standard Worlds.
We will monitor the number of logins in each World once the redistribution is completed and plan on adjusting Preferred Worlds accordingly.
